Meal planning is key when it comes to keeping your sanity, staying organized, and saving money. It is critical to create a meal plan before you head to the grocery store. It can be as simple as knowing what meals you will be making, instead of just shopping for whatever your mood is. Meal planning is not only good so you know what you are going to fix for dinner each night, but it also helps you know what to put on your shopping list.
By having a meal plan, I have peace of mind, feel better about what I will be eating during the week, and save so much time. Meal planning keeps me from just wandering the aisles of the grocery store and backtracking the whole time I am there.
